Text 10 My cousin Sandy lives on a farm，working for her father，my uncle.The farm，which is nearly one hundred kilometers from the city，has been owned by my uncle for twenty-five years，ever since my father gave it to him.He raises a large number of animals，including cows，chickens，sheep and ducks.Sandy thinks life on a farm is very different from that in a big city.She doesn't always have to worry about her work，and doesn't have many difficult things to do there.“Most of the time，I'm my own boss，so I don't have to ask anybody else before I decide to do something.And the most important point is that I never have to hurry to do anything，” Sandy tells me.What's more，she loves not only the fresh air，but also the sweet song of the birds.But she does agree that she sometimes feels bored，since every morning she has to get up very early，and go milking the cows at about half past four.So she goes to bed early every evening，at around nine o'clock. 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A War and love should never be mixed together, but when it does, some stories are made during its experience.Here are some books about love stories which are set in wartime. War Bonds by Cindy Hval The idea to write this book was suggested to the author by her husband.It's a compilation (汇编) of love stories that took place during the war when men and women who made lifelong commitments without knowing what the future would bring.Each story shares a lesson to inspire every heart. Eve of a Hundred Midnights by Bill Lascher Bill Lascher had always wanted to be a reporter, and soon discovered his cousin had lived the life he dreamed of living.A month after his grandmother gifted him with his cousin's typewriter used during World War Ⅱ， he slowly uncovered the story told in this book. Just as World War Ⅱ broke out, Melville and Annalee Jacoby, both war reporters, were faced with a life-and-death decision.Having been married for just a month, the couple had to run for their lives to escape being caught by their enemies. GI Brides：The Wartime Girls Who Crossed the Atlantic for Love by Duncan Barrett and Nuala Calvi This book tells the stories of the women in England who married American soldiers.Each GI Bride has her own unique hopes and fears during a time of war when their ever happy dreams are redefined (重新定义) by war, cultural differences, countries, and an uncertain future. Love Stories of World War Ⅱ by Larry King Each love story in this book is unique in its own way, but they all share a common topic：love overcomes all.Each couple interviewed shares how they met, how they fell in love, the difficulties they faced and how their love grew stronger leading to marriages that lasted a lifetime.

The artwork was given to Private Jack Shelley, a British soldier, when he was defending the town of Frelinghien, France.The sketch is an important historical document, as it provides evidence that the tales of both sides at war socializing together are true.But for Jack's family it has even greater value, since it was his prized possession. Jessie Shelley, Jack's great-granddaughter, has fond memories of the old man sharing stories about his experiences in the war.The family lost track of the artwork after Jack's possessions were moved during the sale of his house when he died in 1984.“Great-grandpa had a tobacco tin with a dozen or so buttons from the uniforms of men from both sides.He told us all the details of every one of those buttons.To my great-grandpa they represented real people he had known, some of whom hadn't come home from the war.He had at least two buttons from German uniforms that he told us were exchanged between the men involved in the truce，” Jessie Shelley said. On the day of the truce in 1914，the soldiers came out of their trenches (战壕) into the no-man's-land and shared food，drinks and cigarettes.Some even exchanged small gifts.The men even played football games together.Later, this spirit of cooperation continued in unofficial agreements between the sides to stop shooting at mealtimes and even at times when soldiers were working in the open. This fascinating image of peace and humanity during the war has continued through the years.The sketch is a symbol of the potential for humanity, hope and kindness to exist in even the most violent circumstances.

A．It brought about more truces. B．It resulted in more celebrations. C．It led to more official agreements. D．It started wide information exchanges. 答案：A 24 25 26 27 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Later, this spirit of cooperation...when soldiers were working in the open.”可知，在1914年的停战日之后，这种合作精神在非官方的协议中继续发扬，士兵们会在吃饭时间停战，甚至有时也会在户外工作的时候停战。故可推知，1914年的停战日之后有了更多的停战，故选A。 24 25 26 27 C The flight of butterflies has so far been somewhat of a secret to researchers, given their unusually large and broad wings relative to their body size.Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied the aerodynamics (空气动力) of butterflies in a wind tunnel (风洞).The results suggest that butterflies use a highly helpful flap(拍打) technique, therefore making use of their unique wings.This helps them rapidly take off when escaping natural enemies. The researchers studied the wingbeats of freely flying butterflies during takeoff in a wind tunnel.During the upward process, the wings cup, creating an air-filled pocket between them.When the wings strike each other, the air is forced out, resulting in a backward strong stream of air that pushes the butterflies forward.The downward wingbeat has another function: the butterflies stay in the air and do not fall to the ground. The wings' striking was described by researchers almost 50 years ago, but it is only in this study that the theory has been tested on real butterflies in free flight.Until now, it has been generally believed that butterfly wings are aerodynamically inefficient.However, the researchers suggest that the opposite is actually true. “That the wings are cupped when butterflies flap them together, makes the wing flap much more effective.It is an elegant mechanism that is far more advanced than we imagined, and it is fascinating，”says biology researcher Per Henningsson, who studied the butterflies' aerodynamics.“The results of the study could help inspire improved performance and flight technology in small unmanned aircraft，”he continues. In addition to studying the butterflies, the researchers designed mechanical wings that are modeled on real ones.The shape and flexibility of the mechanical wings as they are cupped and folded confirm the efficiency.Their measurements show that the pushing force created by the flexible wings is 22 percent higher and the efficiency 28 percent better compared to rigid wings. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项科学研究，解开了蝴蝶拍翅飞行的秘密。 28．What does the researchers' study focus on? A．The butterfly's body size. B．The butterfly's flying principle. C．The butterfly's escape technique. D．The butterfly's frequency of wingbeats. 答案：B 28 29 30 31 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The flight of butterflies has so far been somewhat of a secret to researchers, given their unusually large and broad wings relative to their body size.Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied the aerodynamics of butterflies in a wind tunnel.(到目前为止，蝴蝶的飞行对研究人员来说还是一个秘密，因为它们的翅膀相对于它们的体型来说是非常大和宽的。现在，瑞典隆德大学的研究人员已经研究了蝴蝶在风洞中的空气动力学)”可知，研究人员的研究重点是蝴蝶的飞行原理。故选B项。 28 29 30 31 29．For what purpose do butterfly wings strike? A．To form an air pocket. B．To circle steadily in the air. C．To release their additional energy. D．To empty the air pocket for forward force. 答案：D 28 29 30 31 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When the wings strike ...pushes the butterflies forward.”可知，蝴蝶拍击翅膀的目的是排除空气袋内的空气以获得前进的力量。 28 29 30 31 30．Why were the mechanical wings made? A．They might draw public attention. B．They could be used to test the findings. C．They would show results in line with popular belief. D．They helped avoid experimenting on live butterflies. 答案：B 28 29 30 31 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Their measurements show... 22 percent higher and the efficiency 28 percent better...”并结合上下文可推知，制造机械翼的原因是它可以用来测试研究人员对蝴蝶飞行的新发现。 28 29 30 31 31．In which part of a magazine could we find this text? A．Art. B．Travel. C．Science. D．Health. 答案：C 28 29 30 31 文章出处题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了一项科学研究，解开了蝴蝶拍翅飞行的秘密，故应属于“科学”版块。 28 29 30 31 D Imagine driving behind a huge truck shooting clouds of smoke into the air while your new fully electric vehicle cleans up its carbon emissions (排放物). This dream may soon be a reality. A team of students in the Netherlands has created an electric car that not only doesn't produce carbon dioxide when driving, but actually pulls it out of the air. The two-seater sports car was designed and built in less than a year by a team of 32 students at Eindhoven University of Technology. Called “ZEM”， which stands for “zero emission mobility”， the car is equipped with special devices that remove carbon dioxide from the air as it drives. The team says if ZEM is driven about 32，000 kilometers, it can remove 2 kilograms of carbon dioxide from the air. That's not a huge amount. The team calculates that 10 ZEM cars on the road for a year would remove as much carbon dioxide as a typical tree does during that time. However, they also point out that there are over a billion passenger cars in the world that could be using this technology. And if a billion cars were removing carbon dioxide instead of producing it, the result would be huge. ZEM also has several other innovations that help to make it more capable of being sustained: The car's frame and panels (面板) are 3D printed to reduce waste; it was built using recycled and recyclable materials；it can be easily taken apart so that many of its parts can be reused. ZEM's battery is also reusable, and has another handy feature: It can be charged with solar panels on the car's roof, and can even be used to provide power to your house when the car isn't on the road. According to the statistics, transportation was responsible for over 20% of global carbon dioxide emissions in 2020, and of those emissions, cars were responsible for 41%. The Eindhoven team says its goal is to challenge the electric car industry : If 32 students can build a car like this in less than a year, then surely car manufacturers (生产商) are expected to adopt these innovations, too. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了荷兰的一个学生团队发明了一种叫作ZEM的电动汽车，这种汽车在驾驶时不仅不产生二氧化碳，而且还可以吸收空气中的二氧化碳。 32．What is special about ZEM? A．It can end the world's CO2 release. B．It can cut the truck's CO2 emissions. C．It can reduce the level of CO2 in the air. D．It can absorb dirty air as well as CO2. 答案：C 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“Called ‘ZEM’， which stands for ‘zero emission mobility’， the car is equipped with special devices that remove carbon dioxide from the air as it drives.”可知，这种汽车在行驶过程中可以吸收空气中的二氧化碳。由此可知，ZEM的特殊之处在于它能降低空气中的二氧化碳含量。故选C项。 32 33 34 35 33．Why does the team run the calculation of ZEM in paragraph 2? A．To demonstrate a superb vision of ZEM cars. B．To explain how ZEM removes CO2 as trees do. C．To illustrate the ongoing change in car making. D．To show the influence of ZEM on the car market. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 推理判断题。根据第二段的最后两句“However, they also point out that there are over a billion passenger cars in the world that could be using this technology. And if a billion cars were removing carbon dioxide instead of producing it, the result would be huge.”可知，研究团队计算ZEM吸收二氧化碳的量是为了表明ZEM汽车的卓越前景。故选A项。 32 33 34 35 34．What do we know about all the components of ZEM? A．They are of high quality. B．They are easy to process. C．They are convenient to print. D．They are environmentally friendly. 答案：D 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知，ZEM的一些创新有助于使其更具可持续性，且ZEM的零部件都是环保、可回收利用的。故选D项。 32 33 34 35 35．What does the Eindhoven team hope to achieve in the future? A．Sharp decline in fuel consumption. B．Mass production of ZEM cars. C．Big success in beating other car makers. D．Dramatic changes in transportation. 答案：B 32 33 34 35 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The Eindhoven team says its goal is to challenge the electric car industry: If 32 students can build a car like this in less than a year, then surely car manufacturers are expected to adopt these innovations, too.”可知，该团队的目标是挑战电动汽车行业，想刺激汽车制造商未来能大批量生产ZEM这样的车。由此可推知，该团队希望在未来实现ZEM汽车的量产。故选B项。 32 33 34 35 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了鸽子、彩虹和橄榄枝三种事物作为和平象征的历史和原因。 The concept of peace is a very important one in cultures all over the world.Think about how we greet people. 36 In some cultures we greet people by shaking hands or with another gesture to show that we are not carrying weapons—that we come in peace.And there are certain symbols that people in very different cultures recognise as representing peace.Let's look at the origins of a few of them. 36 37 38 39 40 A．People always greet one another in peaceful ways. B．But it was Pablo Picasso who made it a modern symbol of peace. C．The olive tree has always been a valuable source of food and oil. D．But no one knows for sure when or why it began to symbolise peace. E．Now we use the rainbow to represent the possibility of a better world. F．In some languages, the phrases for greetings contain the words for peace. G．Nowadays the rainbow is used by many popular movements for peace and the environment. 答案：F 36 37 38 39 40 上文“Think about how we greet people.”句中的how提示下文将在问候方式与和平的关系方面展开叙述。空后的“we greet people by shaking hands or with another gesture”是关于问候人们时表示和平的手势或动作；“And there are certain symbols”是关于表示和平的特殊象征，F项是关于语言中的问候方式与表达和平的词汇的关系，与前后文衔接紧密。故选F项。 36 37 38 39 40 The dove The dove has been a symbol of peace and innocence for thousands of years in many different cultures.In ancient Greek mythology it was a symbol of love and the renewal of life.In ancient Japan a dove carrying a sword symbolised the end of war. 37 36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 A．People always greet one another in peaceful ways. B．But it was Pablo Picasso who made it a modern symbol of peace. C．The olive tree has always been a valuable source of food and oil. D．But no one knows for sure when or why it began to symbolise peace. E．Now we use the rainbow to represent the possibility of a better world. F．In some languages, the phrases for greetings contain the words for peace. G．Nowadays the rainbow is used by many popular movements for peace and the environment. 答案：B 空前的“In ancient Greek mythology”和“In ancient Japan”表明鸽子在古代是如何代表和平的，而B项中的modern与前文的ancient相呼应，引出是Pablo Picasso使鸽子成为现代和平的象征，B项中的第二个it指代the dove。故选B项。 36 37 38 39 40 The rainbow The rainbow is another ancient and universal symbol, often representing the connection between human beings and their gods.In Scandinavian mythology the rainbow was a bridge between the gods and the earth.In Chinese tradition, the rainbow is a common symbol of marriage because the colours represent the union of yin and yang. 38 36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 A．People always greet one another in peaceful ways. B．But it was Pablo Picasso who made it a modern symbol of peace. C．The olive tree has always been a valuable source of food and oil.

F．In some languages, the phrases for greetings contain the words for peace. G．Nowadays the rainbow is used by many popular movements for peace and the environment. 答案：G 根据空前的“In Scandinavian mythology”和“In Chinese tradition”可知，本段前面讲述在古代人们是如何利用彩虹这个标志的，G项中的nowadays与之对应，G项中的the rainbow也与本段的主题一致，且介绍了彩虹与和平有关的内容。故选G项。 36 37 38 39 40 The olive branch 39 In Greek mythology, Athena gave the olive tree to the people of Athens, who showed their gratitude by naming the city after her. 40 Whatever the history, the olive branch is a part of many modern flags symbolising peace and unity. 36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 A．People always greet one another in peaceful ways.

F．In some languages, the phrases for greetings contain the words for peace. G．Nowadays the rainbow is used by many popular movements for peace and the environment. 答案：D The dove和The rainbow部分都是从历史和原因两方面对鸽子和彩虹的和平意义进行讲述，而The olive branch部分中所讲述的Athena将橄榄枝送给雅典人的神话，与橄榄枝的和平意义并无关联，又根据空后的“Whatever the history”可知，前文对橄榄枝用作和平象征的历史并没有作出明确的说明，D项(但没有人确切知道它是何时或为何开始象征和平的)符合语境，选项中的it指代前文的the olive tree。故选D项。 36 37 38 39 40 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My 12-year-old niece was staying with us for a little while.One night we stayed up talking about how we used to 41 and take part in random acts of kindness.We talked about how so much had 42 ， and how difficult it would be to do so many of those things now, 43 when it came to helping out strangers.

In an attempt to emotionally support her, Ryder shaved his head.“Oh, Ryder！” Annie cried after seeing him.She was moved by what her son had done by sacrificing his hair.“Mom, I am with you in this way.And you are not alone，” Ryder cried along, hardly knowing he would be laughed at by his best friends the next day. A school fair had been organized in the playground, and many people, including parents, were gathering around the stalls (摊位).“Hey, look, someone in our class has lost all his hair！” Ryder's friends laughed when he emerged. Ryder shyly covered his head in a hat.He carried two bags stuffed with some of his favorite toys, books, and recycled craft items he intended to sell at the fair. As time passed, things were quickly getting sold in all the other stalls except Ryder's.He didn't find time to put up a fancy display or banner (横幅) to attract buyers.But he was determined to make a sale for his mother.So he took out a pen and a giant piece of paper and decided to create a sign that read: Help My Mom Fight Cancer. “Please help me.I shaved my head to support my mother.But all are making fun of me without understanding me.And I have to sell these items and help her with some money.Please don't let me down，” he shouted.The fair was about to end, and fortunately Ryder had managed to successfully sell most of his items. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 He was about to leave when his three friends surrounded him._____ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Ryder, please take this as well，”He heard a parent calling him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] He was about to leave when his three friends surrounded him. “Not now, guys.I'm leaving.Quit it，” he begged.He thought they would come to laugh at him again, but to his shock, they took off their hats, and their heads were shaved clean.“What? Why did you guys shave your heads？” Ryder was startled.“What's going on？” As it turned out, the boys saw his sign about his mother, and they were moved by it.They felt guilty about making fun of him. “Ryder, please take this as well，”He heard a parent calling him. He turned around and saw a group of his friends' parents approaching him.They contributed more money, and Ryder had approximately $11，000 with him in no time.He was so moved and thanked everyone for their heartwarming act.“Don't thank us, Ryder.We should thank you for helping us realize our mistake.A person is not to be judged by appearance.Thanks for helping us understand that even a small act of kindness can make a huge difference in someone's life.” $$
